Fraud analytics will constitute the largest market size

Fraud analytics is at the center of all insurance fraud detection solutions. The report anticipates that this segment will represent the largest market size during the forecast period.

SMEs to grow at a higher CAGR

The small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) segment is experiencing more and more insurance frauds and cyberattacks, which is why MarketsandMarkets expects this sector to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period.

Furthermore, insurance fraud detection solutions deployed in a cloud environment will grow at the highest CAGR during the same period.

North America will account for the largest market size 

Technology adoption has fueled insurance market growth around the globe. North America, especially, has experienced immense growth in the insurance fraud detection market thanks to popular tech trends such as cloud adoption and the Internet of Things.

While North America is estimated to be the largest revenue-generating region for insurance fraud detection solutions and services in 2019, Asia Pacific (APAC) is gaining momentum.

Smart devices and Bring YourOwn Device (BYOD) development is on the rise in the region. Thus, companies have started adopting insurance fraud detection solutions and services to mitigate insurance claim fraud and identity theft risks.
